1843réf. 008069London: Colnaghi and Puckle. Printed by Cook & Co. Lithography by Day & Haghe 1843. First Edition. Half Morocco. Pebbled cloth on boards. Very Good. A magnificent souvenir of a Romantic era joust basically a re-enactment of the Medieval combat sport in keeping with the resurgent interest in the Middle Ages at the time. This tournament was sponsored by Lord Eglinton at his Scottish castle in 1839. That this massive book took four years to put together attests to its grandeur as well as the ardor of Medievalism among the aristocratic elite. Elephantine Folio 61 by 43 cm. Blank title leaf dedication leaf six paginated pages then 21 hand-colored plates each with a tissue guard and a one or two page Description of the particular plate on a single leaf until the last or 21st numbered plate which has a four page or two leaf Description after which there are two unpaginated pages of "Concluding Remarks". The lettering of text on these pages is done mostly with blue type with occasional red. The title and the plate leaves are of a card stock. The other leaves are of a more standard but not light paper weight and the tissue guards are of a similar minimally less paper weight but a glossier stock. The plates capture and probably improve upon the spirit of the event as they idealize the whole proceeding with nary a misstep all the costuming just right not a speck of dust or dirt to mar the beauty of the sport. However true these "reenactors' -- for that was what they were -- are faithful to the Medieval sport our image of jousting tournaments is probably more influenced by the prettified imitation than the original since books like this directly influenced Hollywood and the historic fiction genre more than the more esoteric surviving documents from the Middle Ages. The tournament reportedly drew an estimated 100000 spectators but it also was mocked and satirized in its day especially by members of the Whig Party. Notwithstanding that this pageant inspired others in its wake. In addition to the 21 numbered plates the title page has a large hand-colored illustrated oval centerpiece 26 cm tall surrounded by monotone decoration comprised of figures of men in armor and seraphs. All the descriptions begin with a decorated letter that is in itself an esquisite vignette. And not to be slighted each of the color plates has surrounding its primary richly colored illustration a highly decorative frame that is populated with seraphs human figures foliate ornaments escutcheons weaponry etc. etc. These frames in contrast to the central illustration are mostly black line drawings with a tinted background but there are occasional bits of fuller color -- the coat-of-arms are generally rendered so -- and in a few of the frames these full color pieces are quite numerous. Regarding the Dedication leaf the dedication is to Archibald William Montgomerie who was the Earl of Eglinton as well as the holder of other titles and was made by Edward Puckle. The gallery he headed at the time goes back to 1760 and remains to this day now known simply as Colnaghi with headquarters in Mayfair but branches in New York and other cities. Nixon 1802 - 1857 illustrated the novels of Sir Walter Scott and not coincidentally "Ivanhoe" apparently was the inspiration to stage this particular pageant. He is best known though as a designer of stained glass and his work in this medium done through a partnership of Ward and Nixon can be seen most famously in Lincoln Cathedral. As to Eglinton himself the tournament cost him dearly as he depleted his coffers of almost everything to cover the massive losses incurred by the event. All edges gilt. Gilt lettering and decoration on cover bright. Two decorative bookplates mounted onto FEP. The book besides being extra-large is also extra-heavy -- 13 lbs. 8 ou. -- and thus expect a substantial amount of extra postage will be required to ship especially internationally. Condition: Binding shows some wear with bumped edge a moderate level of spotting and other soiling most pronounced on the pebbled cloth of front board and small areas with rubbing. Hinge crack by title page. Other than occasional light stains the book is clean tight and we would say a highly attractive copy of the work. Colnaghi and Puckle. Printed by Cook & Co. Lithography by Day & Haghe unknown

réf. 370881950's through 1970's. . Very good. - A collection of 8 original vintage black & white photographs taken at events hosted by the Circus Saints and Sinners Club a charitable service organization founded in 1929. The earliest of these images dating from the 1950's is a 5-3/4 inch high by 7-1/2 inch wide gelatin silver print by Reni Newsphoto Service depicting Richard M. Nixon reaching his hand out to P.T. Barnum's lion "Sheba" while both are within the same cage. The June 4 1953 event took place either immediately before or after a luncheon and charity roast hosted by the District of Columbia P.T. Barnum Tent i.e. chapter of the Circus Saints and Sinners Club. The photograph is one of a series of shots taken when Nixon stroked the lion's head while others looked on from safety outside the cage. A second photo this one measuring 4-3/8 inches high by 5-5/8 inches wide likely taken at the same event although the number "59" penciled on the verso might indicate a later date depicts Richard Nixon seated at a banquet table with a couple of other guests. Nixon and the others are applauding an unseen speaker or performer. This photograph is creased along the right edge with a one inch tear to that edge repaired with tape from the verso. A smaller 4 inch high by 3-1/8 inch wide matte finish photograph from 1961 printed on "Minox" photo stock depicts Dwight D. Eisenhower attired in a three piece suit shaking hands with one of the event's organizers as others look on. A 6-7/8 inch high by 7-7/8 inch wide gelatin silver photograph depicts Harry S. Truman standing between two men one dressed as an angel and the other as the devil "saints and sinners". The devil at Truman's right wears the rare "Truman is Human" button designed for this 1962 Circus Saints and Sinners Club event. John F. Kennedy is portrayed in a glossy 7-1/8 inch high by 7-7/8 inch wide photograph. Holding a rolled up program in his left hand Kennedy's finger is extended as he makes a point to the cigar wielding man with whom he is speaking. Two other men stand in the background. A 5-7/8 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide gelatin silver photograph circa 1970 depicts Barry Goldwater shaking the hand of an unidentified man at one of the club's events. A stocked bar can be glimpsed in the background. A 5-3/8 inch high by 5-5/8 inch wide photograph dating from between 1968 and 1972 depicts Spiro T. Agnew seated at a banquet table upon which is draped the "Circus Saints & Sinners" banner. Leaning on a large sculpture of a black elephant at the left of the image is a large round sign proclaiming "All the Way with STA". One last photograph this one measuring 5-1/8 inches high by 8-1/4 inches wide depicts 14 unidentified men seated and standing behind a buffet table at a Circus Saints & Sinners Club event. Once likely mounted in an album there are glue stains on the verso of each of the photographs. Otherwise except for the tear mentioned to one of the photographs depicting Richard Nixon all of the photographs are in very good condition with only minor creases. The Circus Saints & Sinners club is a charitable association of business and professional people which was formed in 1929 in New York City by former members of the Circus Fans Association of America. Initially founded to provide aid to retired circus performers in need of financial assistance the club grew into an organization which contributes to a wide range of charities. In reference to their roots Circus Saints & Sinners Club chapters are called "tents". 1950's through 1970's. unknown
